HI i'm ASH!

Hi! My name is Ashlee and I am the founder of Smash Active. 

I have been in the health and fitness industry since 2015 and working as a qualified personal trainer and group fitness instructor for  the last seven years. I have been running Smash Active as a face to face training business since  2017 and more recently offering online fitness products since 2022! Before that I studied and worked in performing arts, primarily as a classically trained dancer. 

I was inspired to move into the fitness industry by my own experience with a personal trainer. As a dancer, I was always on strict diets and ridiculed for the shape and size of my body, which as you can imagine lead to some terrible body image issues. My trainer at the time helped show me how fitness and exercising should be fun, and I came to realise how badass it is to be strong and confident and to use exercise as a way of bettering your self, growing  self confidence and celebrating what your body can achieve. I now strive to share this fitness philosophy and empower like minded women to feel the same.   

I have made it my mission to create an environment where everyone feels comfortable to exercise through all walks of life. I aim to educate my community to be fit, strong and confident in their own skin and to use our training to better their every day lives - but still enjoy life in the process!
